How to move bottles in VinLocate

Open the slot the bottle is in, tap the bottle, then tap ⋯ and choose Move within this section or Move to different section, cellar or fridge. The 3D view goes into move mode — tap the slot you want and the bottle lands there.

Moving one bottle

Section titled “Moving one bottle”
  1. On the home screen, under Cellars & fridges, tap your storage, then tap the section.
  2. Drill into the row or column the bottle is in, then tap its slot. A panel lists what is in that slot.
  3. Tap the bottle once to select it. Its card shows the bottle’s size and details such as barcode, purchase price and source, so you can check it is the right one. Remove and ⋯ appear beneath it.
  4. Tap ⋯ and pick a move option.
  5. Tap the slot you want. A Bottle added to slot confirmation appears and the 3D model updates.
Storage → section → row → slot → tap the bottle → ⋯ → Move

While you are choosing a slot, ⋯ offers Change Section, so you can send the bottle somewhere else without starting over.

What each option does

Section titled “What each option does”
Option What happens
Move within this section Stays in the rack or shelf you are looking at. Tap the new slot.
Move to different section, cellar or fridge You pick the destination storage and section first, then tap a slot inside it.
Remove from 3D position Takes the bottle out of its slot. It stays in your collection, simply unplaced, and shows up under the Without a 3D position filter.
Remove from collection Records the bottle as gone. Not a way to rearrange your cellar.

The wording follows what you are looking at: on a fridge it reads Move within this shelf, and in the whole-cellar view Move within this cellar.

Tapping an occupied slot swaps the two bottles. The panel names the wine already there — Replacing: … — and the button becomes Replace. The displaced bottle is lifted out of its position and joins the list of bottles waiting for a slot, so you can drop it straight into the one you have just freed up.

Moving a group at once

Section titled “Moving a group at once”

Rearranging a whole rack one bottle at a time is slow. Instead, select the bottles in your Collection, tap ⋯ in the action bar and choose Relocate Bottles: pick the destination, then place them one tap each from a single 3D session. Add to 3D position in the same menu does the same job for bottles that have never been placed.

On Android and the web

Section titled “On Android and the web”

Android has the same slot panel and the same ⋯ menu inside the 3D view, and moving works there. Relocate Bottles from a bottle’s own screen or the collection selection bar isn’t available on Android yet, so start moves from inside VinLocate.

On app.invintory.com, open the section, tick the bottle in the panel at the bottom right of the 3D view and click Relocate — or open the wine and click Relocate Bottle. You then choose Move within this cellar or another storage, and click the target slot.
